COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ) A Fulton man pleaded guilty to two misdemeanors on Monday. John Patrick Wallace pleaded guilty in Callaway County to impersonating a law enforcement officer and fourth-degree assault. He was sentenced to two years of unsupervised probation. Wallace was originally charged in January with impersonating a law enforcement officer, fourth-degree assault, attempting to steal drugs and resisting arrest. Court documents in previous reporting say Wallace forced his way into a woman's vehicle on New Year’s Eve after flashing a fake marshal's badge and saying "Give me the marijuana back." Wallace allegedly hit the woman with the vehicle door and pushed her to the ground in the parking lot of a business in the 1400 block of North Bluff Street. Video footage from outside the store confirmed the victim's story, according to court documents in previous reporting. Investigators found a loaded handgun, a fake marshal's badge and three small bottles of liquor when they searched his vehicle, previous reporting shows.
